Yes. In settings you can connect to your twitter account.

Really! I will check it out and see how that works.

That's my fear. If they become too big, Apple may sue them.

Do you really think this is a legitimate concern? I'm asking this as someone who is intimately (well, less so in recent months) involved in elementary's strategic planning -- I am on the core team.

Can you suggest specific aspects of our OS that would judged to be too similar to Apple's products so as to warrant a claim of infringement, other than a general aesthetic similarity and the color of our window borders?

There probably isn't much. The icon showing a magic mouse might infringe a trademark, though; Apple tends to trademark icons where practical, which is likely why TouchWiz scrapped its very iOS-esque icons a while back.

We aren't using the magic mouse icon. It's a hand-drawn svg, although I agree it looks pretty similar.

Here's the icon at a larger size: http://i.imgur.com/Hnc53Yd.png
